For years now, I have been trying to convince my husband to invest in a security system.
We even applied for a refinance & home remodeling money to get several projects done and one of them includes a set of cameras/system.
Does having a security camera and or system give you peace of mind or does it make anxiety worse?

Love seems expendable to some people, but I don't see it that way. Love is patient, love is kind. It is not some expendable thing ever in time. It is the fuel to the fire of everything. All you need is love. And all the love in the world could become someone's secret treasures. And sometimes a person hasn't known love, trust, or empathy in such a long time that they think anything about anything. It gets put in their hearts like a diamond no matter what it is. And this person showing them just mild attention doesn't know what they are in for. All because of the fact that they ever had the kindness to even pay some attention to them. It seems like that person was in a dark place,...no? This just human act of kindness makes someone reel in enjoyment they ever paid attention to them. And for all goodness sake, these small things make it seem so worth it to live.
Who hasn’t been hurt by life events? Probably nobody. Maybe you or someone you love has suffered a heartbreaking loss, a debilitating injury, or a serious illness. No matter the circumstances, deep wounds can lead to anger, resentment and cynicism.
Physical and emotional burdens can accompany our painful experiences prompting serious questions: “Why is this happening? How can I forgive the fact that my child has cancer? What has our family done to warrant such unfairness? Yet clinging to bitterness sets us up to pay emotionally, and spiritually.
We live in an imperfect world, and sometimes forgiveness feels impossible. Whether we lose a job, endure a divorce, or face a critical diagnosis, we constantly encounter unresolved conflict in need of forgiveness.
When we are able to make peace with the reality of this imperfect world, we essentially forgive that reality for being what it is. One could say that we agree to coexist with imperfection by not letting it consume us.
To forgive has many emotional and spiritual implications. It also means different things to different people and is a central value in many faith traditions. However, to forgive does not excuse the loss or harm done but does help loosen its grip on the recipient of that loss or harm.
In my experience, to forgive is to shift from anger to empathy and to a new outlook on life. This releases us, not by ignoring the rough passages or pretending everything is fine. Instead, it opens a path to coexisting with life as a whole rather than focusing on a single painful event.
The nice light rain is like pressing the reset button , a moment of peace 😌 #selfcare #PeaceOfMind
Can anyone else relate to this bucket-filling experience that I had?
Aside from the lightpost photobombing the shot, I loved the colors of the sky right around sunset tonight...maybe a little bit after sunset (technically). As an artist, I love to experiment with colors and see what comes of it. Looking at the sky, it's like a work of art right before my eyes and the colors are literally natural.
After I have had one of those moments in life when it's then 'time for a walk', to see something like this puts some drops in my bucket when I need it the most. To help my energy be regained some. I especially feel my bucket being filled when I don't expect a sky like this and then 'bam'!
What other kind of things fill your bucket when you really need it?

Today, I was not necessarily expecting to see what I was going to see around sunset time. It is amazing how even dark clouds can be brightened!
Does anyone feel their bucket filled by these unexpected treasures?

My bucket is filled when I see the incredible ways that nature works. Yesterday, I was out walking in an area that has a pathway off of the side of the road in the middle of nature. I find that, especially on sunny days, I naturally keep my eye out for opportunities for these kinds of shots.
As an artist, I have been wanting to learn (and will be) how to depict reflections on water among other things. There is something about reflections, though. A reflection so clearly depicts what an object actually is. When I look in the mirror, it is an opportunity for me to look at my reflection and see who I am on the outside, which can even show who I am on the inside. I find that sometimes I will look in/at my eyes and see the size of my pupils.
Does anyone else have this kind of feeling in regard to looking at reflections? Does thinking about reflections help fill anyone's bucket?

Just for fun, I propose a challenge! Let's see how much we can 'flood' (okay, with today's theme I realize the irony) the comments with photos of OCEAN WAVES! I would like to make a shout-out to certain 'Mighty' member who proposed today's subject...Katherina!
*They gave their consent for me to give the shout out*
Now, ideally, let's have these be ocean waves you have observed first-person, better yet if they are your own original photos.
In mg own life, and perhaps in the lives of others in 'The Mighty', moments of peace are crucial and embraced. Different things may bring peace to different people. So, every day, I propose the slread of peace or whatever positive vibes these photos bring you. I will do a different 'subject' every day, or every other day. If you have any suggestions of 'subject(s)' you would appreciate, please let me know!
P.S. the photo that I used as the topic photo is one I took of the Pacific Ocean.

I hope anyone reading this finds clarity and peace of mind.
Allow your goals, your intentions and your soul communicate with the universe.
Once the universe sees your true potential in your true inner intentions I hope it aligns your path with clearing and traffic free.

I absolutely hate it when I give long thought to something I want to discuss with a loved one, and then embark on the conquest of actually talking about it, only to receive gaslighting antics as a means of rejecting responsibility for the roll that they have played in causing me great discomfort. This Pandemic has shown me truly who has my back and who is only pretending. It is really difficult to deal with a person that lacks balanced communication skills within a specific type of relationship, so they use gaslighting instead of cultivating healthy, balanced communication skills. The ego is a deadly thing. I just want to be listened to and understood. It’s so hard to maintain eye contact and to discuss what’s going on in my head while being a good wife and a good mother and a good daughter and a good therapist, sister, auntie, friend etc. I have so many roles and faces, and my ADHD, OCD, Autism, Fibrimyalgia, Complex PTSD and every other thing that’s wrong with me is working against me, and all that I am trying to achieve. I would give anything to just go to the forest and lie in the grass or dirt right now, but there are to many people being loud in nature. I am so over this Pandemic, the shelter in place orders, and selfish people. I mean why even go into nature if you can’t quietly observe NATURE! I sorry for this rant, I am really having a moment this morning. I’ve been rubbed totally the wrong way, like a cat that’s been rubbed backwards.
